Default New Guy From...well around

New to the forum. Been in the Air Force for 25 years, currently stationed in IL, but retiring soon and moving to NM. I have a 1975 vette that I have been working on (frame off) for 12 years. The vette was originally a MN car and had some frame rust as well as body deterioration problems. So far I have towed it from CO, to NM, to WY, to IL, and will make the final tow back to NM soon. This time though I hope to drive it into the trailer instead of push.

It is coming around.
